Lassen National Park Manzanita Lake, CA

I've been working on my photography skills by visiting places around my area that are drivable so I can learn what a good photo is and is not.

Feeling solid about this photo, the morning was cold, but well worth it.

What would you change in the edit?

Same tree, different time and day. What photo do you prefer?

I'm thinking the first photo is better, with the lengthy shadow, but perhaps I could try to lighten the trunk of the tree some more. What do you think?

Do you use the viewfinder or just look at the lcd screen?

For context I use a mirrorless camera and I also wear glasses. I always use the Lcd screen when shooting as pushing my face up against the camera is trouble some with glasses on.

Close crop or show more of the scene for thesefrog pics?

Which crop version do you think is the best with these two pictures, close up to show more detail or a little wider to show more of the scene? The frog is a Gray Treefrog if your interested. Fujifilm XM-5 & 23mm f/2.8

Buying my first camera

Hello world,
I’m about ready to buy my first camera to begin my journey in photography. I’ve narrowed it down to Sony, and have three options.

These are my options:

  1. a5100 with the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS
  2. a6000 with the Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS
  3. a6300 with the E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens

The a5100 is about $380
The a6000 is about $550
The a6309 is about $690

Which of these would you recommend? I know absolutely nothing about cameras or lenses (so the stuff I wrote about the lenses doesn’t say anything to me…)
I mainly take pictures of nature and my dog.

Or would you recommend something different? My budget is somewhere between $500-$700 but preferably closer to $500.

Thank you guys in advance!
